It's about time. The war on drugs has done more harm by far than any good that has come of it. Thats not to say that many drugs aren't harmful, it's just that the war on drugs isn't the way to deal with them. Then there are those that aren't harmful like cannabis.

Not my research or authorship, but good details.

Theresa_N comments on Jul 13, 2020:

The latest data is that this is like the "cold." Same family of virus. Immunity might last less than 90 days perhaps much less. Antibodies last just a few weeks. The vaccination must account for this. We may need it much more often than the "flu" vaccine.

As Agnostics/atheists, are we obligated to be antagonistic to all religions equally?

Theresa_N comments on Jul 11, 2020:

Some religions are better than others. Joke "religions" are not real religions. I see no real harm in them but I find pastafarianism to be juvenile. The best religion I found in many decades of looking was Society of Friends of the most liberal variety. They do no harm and some of them are universalists. The worst are evangelical christians and extremist islam.

I got lucky getting this one.

Theresa_N comments on Jul 11, 2020:

I got lucky with mine too. She's loving and protective although her protective instincts are limited by her size.

So, a thought I was exploring on another group caused me to be booted from it--oh well.

DavidDuhon you are right. He will pick a neo-liberal woman of color. Biden doesn't have a progressive bone in his body and never has. He's seriously impaired mentally just as is tRump. He's looking for a way out of debating.

What are we Americans doing about the income inequality problem in the US?

Theresa_N comments on Jul 10, 2020:

biden will do nothing to lessen income equality. He promised Wall Street that everything would remain the same. Look it up if you don't believe me. He is my second least liked person in this election. If only people would see he's as impaired as tRump, just a neo-liberal instead of a fascist.

Theresa_N comments on Jul 10, 2020:

My former best friend is a devout catholic. We were in love at one time. I hate calling her she because she's a transman but denies it now. Goes to catholic groups that are anti-trans. My family has either disowned me or I have cut them off because of the religious propaganda they spew. I'm sure most of the people I encounter are religious and I have little to say to them because I am an introvert. So no, I don't like religious people to be in my life. I've been an attender of many religious groups in the past and tried to be a believer in each but those days are long past. I have my dog who as far as I know is an atheist like me. She would probably growl and nip at anyone who tried to convert me. She already growls when she senses hostility towards me.

I'm 65 and remember Nixon. In comparison with tRump Nixon was virtuous. The repuglicans were far more ethical than they are these days. If tRump loses and they lose the senate, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the end of the repuglican party.

Is it time for a female President in the US. And why has it not happened already

Theresa_N comments on Jul 5, 2020:

There are many reasons, but in this country there are two major parties and the one time one ran for president the candidate wasn't well liked by a significant number in her own party. She stole the nomination from someone who was more progressive and this wasn't forgiven by many progressives.

Has anyone watched Atypical on Netflix???

Theresa_N comments on Jul 5, 2020:

Watched it a couple of times. Having Asperger's myself, I found it interesting, especially the clingy mom. Too bad I grew up before Asperger's was well known, it could have made a massive difference in my life. I prefer "Asperger's" to autism spectrum. It seems we are different in fundamental ways from full blown autism.

Just a correction to the article, Sudafed is not addictive. It's used to make methamphedamine which is highly addictive. Whether adderal is methamphedamine I don't know and I am too lazy to Duck Duck Go (a search engine that doesn't spy on you) it.

I saw this Meme on Facebook so I had to verify.

Theresa_N comments on Jul 4, 2020:

Well, he's had some form of dementia for awhile now. He's so far gone now I don't know if he'll make it to the election. But then I don't know if Biden will make it to the election either.

I think there is a chance for a leftist revolution in this country with younger people leading it but the establishment democrats will do their best to subvert it. The ACA was designed to subvert health care for all. I am impoverished because of health care in this country, it did nothing to stop it. Establishment democrats just want to go back to the status quo before tRump, since they have all the power they will probably get it.

Catholic Bishop Will Spray Holy Water from Helicopter Over City to Defeat Devil | Hemant Mehta | ...

I was raised r.c. and spent many years as one. I never understood the holy water thing or worship of the virgin Mary or many other odd r.c. practices. But still I was very attached to my catholicism. Later I tried nearly all the other denominations. Eventually I gave up and became an atheist because I decided I didn't want to go to heaven because there I wouldn't be able to be myself, it would be hell for me.
